4 PASTORAL ADDRESS,

The Rev. Geo. Wallace has adj
dressed the following pastoral TO
his parishioners:-
To the Second Congregation of
st. Andrews Cathedral-Dearly
Beloved in the Lord: We are en-
tering upon another Lent. 1t is a
time set apart to repent of sin, and
sorrow for it; to remember Christ's
sufferings and death; to change our
life, and deny ourselves in all ways.
The keeping of the season out
wardly is yoke and burden and
nothing more +, the keeping of it as a
time holy unto the Lord, in the
spirit and not in the letter, will
brings us the blessing of God.
Faithfully your friend and pastor,
GEORGE WALLACE.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS.

The subject last night of the
Seventh day Adventist services was
the line of prophecy recorded in the
9Th chapter of the book of Daniel.
This prophecy is an outline of the
worlds history from the time Medo-
Persia became the second universal
kingdom.
These subjects are made not only
interesting to the lovers of Bible
study, but also to those who enjoy
the study Of history.
Tonight the subject will be the
two thousand three hundred days OF
this same chapter. Mr.. Curtis pro-
poses to show tonight what the MIS-
take of Mr.. Miller was in the great
advent movement of 1874.
All are invited to come and hear.

JUST WHAT HE WANTED.

From the Mining and Industrial Advocate.
 Ex.Senator Tom Wand gets this off:
 "I met an old ship captain the other day, very intelligent man, but as green about mining matters as a farmers boy would be on ship. Said he:
 "You are in the mining business, be. lieve, and l want some information"
 "All right, captain, proceed" I answer ed. Said he:
 "Some acquaintances ofmine are own CTS of an enormously rich mine, and hav- ing some loose money, am thinking of investing"
 "What's the name and where situated" 1" I asked.
 "They call it the 'Amalgamated Oma- ha,' and it's only two or three miles from Allison's Grass Valley ranch, in Nev. ada county. Do you know anything about it1"
 "Well," said I, "Captain, I'm pretty well posted, but l don't think l know anything about that particular mine, and am inclined to think that they are fooling you in the name. There is celebrated mine somewhere in that region called the Segregated Wild Cat, No. IooI, and that must be the one they are trying to get you into"
 "A-ha," said he, "I've heard of that Wild Cat mine before, and I'll investigate and see if they are trying to get me in the wrong mine. Wild Cat-yes, that's the name, and if invest at all it's the very mine l want to get into"
 "Much obliged. I'll do as much for you sometime"

ANCIENT DAMS.

From paper read by MT. David Gravell, before the Society of Civil and Mechanical Engine CTS, and published in the London Engineer, we find some ac- count of ancient dams. The author says the statement of Heroditus about the res- ervoir of Mere's, built to control the water of the Nile, and that of Nebudch.
 adnezzar at Sippora, I4o miles in circum. ference, should be taken with some grains of allowance. But there is no ques- tion as to the existence in the East at the present day, and especially in India and Ceylon, of the remains of what may be correctly termed stupendous works; and the date of the construction of which, as regards India, is in many cases prehis- tcric. In Spain also the Moors, whose occupation of the Peninsula terminated
 in the thirteenth century, have left dams

A CARD,
TOMBSTONE, Nov. 7, 1887.

TOMBSTONE, Nov. 7, 1887. EDITOR EPITAPH:-Allow me to in form you that in my opinion l consider you have made a great mistake in ex- posing the Prospector as the blackmail- ing sheet which it confesses itself to be. The result proves it. While some of the decent patrons of the paper have withdrawn their support, the majority still appear to stand by it, plainly show ing that it is exactly the style of news paper which the Tombstone public de. sires. If this were not SO, the concern could not last a week. This is sad commentary on the decency of Tomb stone, but it is fact nevertheless.
 AN OLD TIMER. Our correspondent is too harsh upon Tombstone. It IS true our town is cursed with its full quota of undesirable inhabitants, but large majority of the people are honorable, upright and gen. erOus.
Tombstone epitaph., 1887-11-12

Those who were present at the sword presentation exercises in Tucson this week, speak in high terms of the affair. The programme was carried out in good style. The address of Judge Barnes was eloquent as well as aowery, and the reply of General Miles was modest, as becomes a great soldier. The Indian policy outlined in his remarks meets with the approval of large majority of the people of Arizona. General Miles will always retain warm place in the hearts of onr citizens, he being almost the first officer commanding the depart ment who has taken the part of the white man as against the Indian.
Tombstone epitaph., 1887-11-12

General Sparks may not be aware of the fact that in his efforts to defeat the interests of the desert land laws, he is working in the interest of large cattle corporations, who are using these lands for grazing, and are opposed to their reclamation for agricultural purposes. If MT. Sparks idea of the desert land law is enforced, it will be simply impossible to reclaim any of the derert lands in Ari- zona. It might be we'll for the president to have the commissioner of the land office visit Arizona and New Mexico and see for himself what the real conditions are. He would learn many interesting facts from observation that would sur prise him. Mir. Sparks evidently don't know that his rulings and instructions on the desert land business is defeating the very result he is striving for, but such is the fact.-Star.
Tombstone epitaph., 1887-11-12

The illustrious George Washington Swain, Esq, comes to the rescue of his friend and relative, James J. Nash, and says if he is called on professionally in Nash's interest, "the public will be ap- prised of the true inwardness of the sub. ject matter which called into requisition his services, let the consequences fall upon whom it may" If this means any. thing, it means that if MT. Jacobs prose cutes the extortion case against Nash, Swain will expose him. It's the same old blackmailing scheme in new shape.
